passing indicator to mt5

New comment
 

Hello everyone! I am transferring this squeezer indicator from mt4 (which I have always worked with) to mt5 and the truth is I am quite lost... I have mostly passed it, but I don't quite understand what is the correct way I have to do to obtain iMA data.

Going from the simplicity of mt4 to mt5 is a bit crazy XD

If anyone can lend a hand I would appreciate it, because I have tried everything but I can't find the right way and my neurons can't go any further.

the original is this (there are things that I have eliminated in mt5 but I verified that it does not affect the main histogram, which is what I am trying to replicate)

Perhaps you should read the manual, especially the examples. iMA - Technical Indicators - MQL5 Reference - Reference on algorithmic/automated trading language for MetaTrader 5
   How To Ask Questions The Smart Way. (2004)
      How To Interpret Answers.
         RTFM and STFW: How To Tell You've Seriously Screwed Up.

They all (including iCustom) return a handle (an int). You get that in OnInit. In OnTick/OnCalculate (after the indicator has updated its buffers), you use the handle, shift and count to get the data.
